Three Cheers for Me by Donald Jack
It is 1916. Bartholomew Bandy, fourth-year medical student, decides that it is time to join the War. The prim young Canadian expects that he will have few problems remaining clean and virtuous. But he is aware that his bland, horse-like face drives people crazy, and that he has a certain tendency to be accident-prone. How will the war affect him, and vice versa? The realities of trench war at the front provide a contrasting backdrop for his adventures, as he blunders into contact with all sorts of people, both fictional and historical (the King, Lester Pearson, and Winston Churchill). Three Cheers For Me was first published in 1962, to wide critical acclaim. This expanded version first appeared in 1973, to launch the series now known as The Bandy Papers.Before moving to Canada, Donald Jack was born in England and served in the Royal Air Force during WWII. He was well-known for his screenplays for films and television shows, as well as his plays. However, he is best known for The Bandy Papers, a series of comic books about the experiences of a bumbling First World War soldier who went on to fame and tragedy in the postwar world. Three Cheers For Me; That's Me In The Center; It's Me Again; Me Bandy, You Cissie; Me Too; and This One's On Me, the first six volumes in the series, were recently republished by McClelland & Stewart. They won three Leacock Awards for Humour and the unwavering support of Bandy fans all across the world. Donald Jack, who was 78 years old at the time of his death, died in 2003.
